Actually I ended up going with Nylon everywhere but the shoulders and the right side of the torso and the chest to ab plate. it gives me the movement I need. I also built the kit with a little room on the inside.

Unfortunately I'm not sure your timeline is going to work if you want something that is ready to wear. I might be wrong but I think there is only 2 company that make ready to wear and they have years of wait time. You should buy a kit and build it yourself. You could have that done in a few months. Just my advice Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Post some pics!!! stop being so secretive lol. just kidding, if you have a WIP can you link it? would love to see some "NEVER GONNA BE A CRL" work.

you shouldn't have any issues at all. Actually you will fit in well at 5-8. Trust me, people notice a lot more when the TKs are taller than Vader, so being short actually works to your advantage, especially if Vader is around. Welcome to the FISD BTW, I see that your new here and join just yesterday. Be sure to look through a ton of build threads, and talk to the shorter troopers about their armor and why they chose the Vendor they did. That way you can asses your own needs and go in the direction you find fit, both with body type and budget. Know that you will spend upwards of $1000 for a complete costume once finished. But know we are here to help, and will do everything we can to ease your issues. And get ahold of your local Garrison mates, they can help you see the armor in person, may even have some troopers your height and can give you pointers in person;

Welcome!

I heard the FOTK is harder to do. But does look great when finished. Sorry I'm not more up to date on the FO stuff. But there are some great guys/gals here to help you out! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Welcome!

The Black series helmet is way more trouble than its work for anything but the R1 (even for R1 I think its too much trouble). Keep your eyes out for a used bucket, or contact the venders, their prices really aren't that bad compared to the BS helmet

Looks good to me!

I dont think so. But Joseph and the staff are really awesome dealing with these. If there is something missing you will know asap. But from what I know, you should be good to go. It's a busy month for the staff, so it may take some time Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Dont look so happy

Sorry could you be a little more clear for me on what your asking? would you be talking about a strap like on a bicycle helmet or something? if so, generally its just a strap of elastic with some type of cup on it, to hold your chin. But if you get a good amount of padding in the helmet, you shouldn't need a strap, unless your head is really small. Do you have a build thread currently? for padding some people use the bicycle helmet padding, some use tactical helmet padding, some use any foam padding they can find lying around. If im not on the right track, maybe post some pics to show what your talking about, that would help a lot!
